Warning Dangerous Spyware

I've been on a battle for days now trying to get rid of the nasty stubborn viruses. I've followed every direction given in this thread, and I'd say 95% of the problems are gone. For that I am very appreciative.

What I've Done:I now have Super Antispyware, ATF-Cleaner, Malwarebytes, Windows Defender, Spybot Search and Destroy, and AVG on my computer. All just to fight this bastard. I ran every program and pretty much all of them are having trouble removing a few stubborn files. Their is a file named "chcdbudn.dll" that is a pesky little punk.

After running every other program(AVG, Malwarebytes, Spybot Search and Destroy. I didn't find this forum yet) Windows Defender said it couldn't remove that one I mentioned. So I find the file in the system32 folder, then try and rename it, and everything came back. Screen hijacked, fake spyware programs running, fake alerts..

Here's when I tried the methods in this thread. I followed everything exactly as told, downloaded Super Antispyware and ATF-Cleaner, and was pleased to see the "chcdbudn.dll" file quarantined in Super Antispyware in Safe Mode(after over 4 hours of the scan. Weird thing happened, right in the middle of quarantining, the computer went blue screen and restarted itself). I rebooted to safe mode and saw everything quarantined, so I figured I was okay.

Here's the problem, I rebooted the computer regularly and opened Super Antispyware to see that no files were quarantined. I don't know if that was normal but I didn't like seeing nothing quarantined. I looked in the system32 folder and find that same file just hanging out in there!!!

Welcome to BC by the way... we won't hold those postings against you..

How do I get help? Who is helping me?For the time will come when men will not put up with sound doctrine. Instead, to suit their own desires, they will gather around them a great number of teachers to say what their itching ears want to hear....Become a BleepingComputer fan: Facebook

It won't let me update. I let it pass through my firewall and still it won't update. (sidenote: I saw "SYSDLL" in the list of programs to let pass through the firewall which is the reason I posted my problem in the other thread)

Manually Downloading Updates: Manually download them from HERE and just double-click on mbam-rules.exe to install. Alternatively, you can update through MBAM's interface from a clean computer, copy the definitions (rules.ref) located in C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Malwarebytes\Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware from that system to a usb stick or CD and then copy it to the infected machine.
